This is a memorial for Elaine Hewitt (you likely know her as Aunt Elaine, Mom, or Grandma). She passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by family on Sunday, July 19th 2015. She leaves behind her two sons, a daughter, her sister, countless grandchildren, extended family, and friends.
I hope you enjoy the photos and stories that are collected on Elaine's memorial site. Her obituary is located under "her life" feel free to add any of your own photos, memories, stories, or tributes. We may use them for her memorial service.
Best, Shawnee Mercier.

Psalm 91 was one of Elaine's favorite Psalms. It is called the Soldiers’ Psalm. It is said that in World War I, many soldiers recited the 91 Psalm daily.
"God is willing and able to keep His words of covenant promise. Plead God’s 91 shield daily. Confidently claim His rest, refuge, safety, covering, faithfulness, freedom from fear, angelic watchers, deliverance, and protection."
"Prayer is the War. God’s Word is the Weapon."
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling ~
even the LORD, who is my refuge
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

Memory by Shawnee Mercier Jul 22, 2015
Sneaking around all night to wake up Christmas morning to find my favorite doll, a beautiful white cabbage patch with green pajamas and white lace fringe, patiently waiting under the tree for me... and realizing then that it was the reason for grandma's sewing for months before Christmas. My cousin looked enviously at my baby only to realize she had her own downstairs. Given to her by Grandma and placed under her own tree ~ cloths included. We'll miss you Grandma.
